Veto of the Medical Bill.
[Lewiston .Ionrnal.l


Governor Bodwell vetoed the medical regis
tration bill just before the Legislature finally
adjourned, Thursday evening, and the SEN
ate declined to pass the bill over the veto.
We publish elsewhere the Governors rea-
sons for vetoing the bill His objections to
some of the details of the bill, If well found
ed, could have been easily removed by amend
ments.
But the Governors fundamental objection
seems to be to the principal section of the
bill, which provides that after Jan. /, 1888,
no person not now in the profession or who
Is not graduate of an authorized medical
school, shall be admitted to the practice of
medicine in this State until he has passed a
satisfactory examination before a board of
examination and registration to be appointed
by the Governor in ''the English language
anatomy, physiology, medicine, hygiene flaws
OF nealtnl, chemistry, toxicology Science of
polsonsl, histology Science of tissuesl, sur
gerry, obstetrics, pathology and atiology
Science OF causes of diseased" 'This pro-
VISION, ne says, might not improbably in
tlme lead to a school of medicine in Maine.
Whlch would impose upon the State class
o. practltloners as little qualified for their
important duties as those against W HON this
act is directed"
Inc Governor seems to have had in his
MIND the idea that this board of examiners
might be packed in the interest of a particu-
lar school of medicine, or might inaugurate a
new school, and use their position to favor
one and injure another for something else
than the public advantage.
=, II there wereany good reason to suspect
TINS, the measure would be Objectionable.
But IT was provided that the board should be
appointed by the Governor and Council and
should be physicians in good standing. grad
yates OF authorized medical colleges and of
different schools Of medicine Moreover they
were required to examine applicants in those
general branches Of knowledge which it is
essential that every person should under
stand who proposes to hold himself out to
the public as physician qualified to treat
the diseases of this wonderful human body.
No matter what particular school or non
school physician may belong to, no matter
whether he employs large doses or small
doses, or one application or another or lay
ing ON OF hands or what not, he ought to
know something Of the organs of the body
with which he has to deal, and something Of
the subjects in which this bill provided that
ne should be examined. Carried out with
the single purpose of affording the public
protection against mountebanks, uuacks and
lgnoramuses. who know nothing or almost
nothing of the human system, it seems to us

sorcery, would be about to wreak their ven

IN CHILDHOOD.

At midnight in wintry land
Weakened from sweetest dreams,
And found the little guest-room filled
With the fair moons soft beams.
They lay like lilies on my bed.
And all the vale below
For was in convent high
Bloomed lilies mid the snow.
And all the slender trees about
Their silv'ry branches tossed
Ore deep-roofed, silent houses, hung,
With iringes Of the Irost.
And down the star-gemmed sky saw
The enchanting angels come.
Bearing aloit fair lily sprays
Unto this mountain home.
They wound about the frowning cliff
And the dark pine trees shade,
Then brighter merged into the light
The patient moonbeams made.
Again slept. nor walked till dawn
Had kissed the chastened mir,
And sweetlv stole the silver tones
OF bells that called to prayer.
Then in the chapel. all aglow.
saw the lilied shrine
BY angels decked at midnight
Sweet waking dream OF mine.
